Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, have agreed with Queen Elizabeth II that they will not be returning as working members of the British royal family, Buckingham Palace announced Friday.
The decision means that honorary military appointments and royal patronages held by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will be revoked and redistributed among working members of the royal family, the palace said in a statement.
But the couple said they will continue to be committed to their duties in Britain and elsewhere — pointedly insisting that “service is universal.”
A review of the couple’s position since stepping back as senior royals last January was expected next month, but has been brought forward.
Harry and Meghan are due to join Oprah Winfrey for a major interview on March 7 — their first sit-down appearance since leaving London for North America.
As long as the couple represented the Queen, they were always limited in what they were able to say publicly. Now it’s been announced that they will not be returning as working royals, they will be able to speak more freely in the interview.
The two camps both released statements on Friday, with the first announcement coming from the palace.
